Creative Spark's Artist-in-Residence exhibition coming to Dundalk's An Táin

Creative Spark said it is proud to present Glór | Ciúnas, a group exhibition featuring new work by artists from the 2024/25 Artist-in-Residence Programme.

This vibrant and diverse exhibition will be held at An Táin Arts Centre in Dundalk from 3rd October to 1st November 2025.
The launch night will take place on Thursday, 2nd October, and all are welcome to attend. 

Showcasing a dynamic mix of painting, print, installation, sculpture, and mixed media, Glór | Ciúnas brings together work by eight artists: Aoife Cawley, Klowi, Claire McAteer, Colleen Eilís Murphy, Nicola Moran, Áine Dunne, Maria Atanacković, and Eimear Murphy. 

The exhibition's title, Glór | Ciúnas—translating as Loud | Silence—reflects the duality found in this year’s work. Some artists explore bold, expressive colour and energetic forms, while others present quiet, contemplative pieces that invite pause and reflection.

Each artist brings a unique voice shaped by their time at Creative Spark, where the process of making was nurtured through space, dialogue, and community. 

This exhibition marks the eleventh year of the Artist-in-Residence exhibition hosted by An Táin Arts Centre.

The Creative Spark Residency Programme—generously supported by the Arts Service of Louth County Council and the Arts Council of Ireland—provides critical support for visual artists through access to professional studio space, research time, resources, and opportunities that may not be available within their independent practices. 

Since its inception, the programme has supported 66 artists, fostering a vibrant culture of artistic innovation and collaboration across the region.  Creative Spark Artist-in-Residence Programme is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and The Arts Service of Louth County Council.
